In Kandahar Province, five U.S. personnel were killed by an explosion. A U.S. captain confirmed the reports.  ISAF said only: “Five International Security Assistance Force service members died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan.”

In another report, two U.S. personnel were shot dead by an Afghan National Army soldier.  It was confirmed by an unnamed U.S. official.

In Herat Province, a teenaged girl has been shot an killed by U.S./NATO  personnel.  Local government officials said the U.S. led troops open fired on civilians in the street.

President Hamid Karzai made it clear that no Afghan government will accept the British empire created Durand Line, which separates Afghanistan and Pakistan.  The problem is that most of western Pakistan actually belongs to Afghanistan. The evil Red Coats arbitrarily drew the line while creating the new country of Pakistan.

90 Army National Guardsmen, from Maine U.S.A., were told their deployment to Afghanistan has been “off ramped”.  Local media speculated it was part of President Obama’s plan to reduce troop levels in Afghanistan.

Afghan interpreters working for British Red Coats, begging to be taken back to Merry Ol’ England because they now fear for their lives.  U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron had already stated that no interpreters will be allowed to move to the British Isles.  The puppet Afghan interpreters said Cameron signed their death warrant:  “When they leave us, we are the first target for these people. So I don’t know why they will not recognize our service or the sacrifices we have made.”-‘Abdul’ translator working for Red Coats in Afghanistan

After the U.S. Congress spent at least $93 billion U.S. tax dollars (not counting fiscal year 2013) on building up the puppet government of Afghanistan, the Special Investigator for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), says the U.S. Department of Defense has not met its goals for pulling out in 2014.  SIGARs found numerous problems such as inadequate system for providing fuel to Afghan government forces, more than $230 million worth of aircraft repair parts that went missing on their way to Afghan government forces,  continued high rate of illiteracy among Afghan government forces despite $200 million being spent on literacy programs.

“Afghanistan will not be able to achieve security and stability if its people
generally distrust and dismiss the government as ineffectual and corrupt.
SIGAR has published 13 audits that looked at critical U.S. programs related
to rule of law, civil service development, provincial capacity, election support,
and corruption. This work revealed serious problems, including the
lack of an integrated U.S. anticorruption strategy. It has led SIGAR to conduct
a new audit of the State Department’s primary program to train justice
sector personnel and build the overall capacity of the Afghan judicial system.
SIGAR’s Office of Special Projects is also now reviewing the current
U.S. anticorruption strategy.” -SIGAR Quarterly Report to United States Congress, 30 April 2013

President Karzai demands President Obama deliver on his promise to close Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay prison).

Danish taxpayers have already given Afghanistan $630 million, now the government leaders of Afghanistan and Denmark have signed a long term military pact: “Denmark has been deeply engaged in Afghanistan for more than 11 years. So it is only natural that we now sign a strategic partnership agreement and thus seal a mutual desire on a long term cooperation. Denmark will remain engaged in Afghanistan even after 2014.”-Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Prime Minister of Denmark

In Nangarhar Province, a two hour battle raged along the Durand Line border with Afghanistan and Pakistan.  Pakistani media reports one Afghan border cop killed, two Pakistani soldiers wounded.  However, Afghan media say nine Pakistanis were killed, one Afghan border cop killed and three wounded.  It happened at the Gursal border gate.  Afghan government officials said the Pakistanis were caught trying to capture the newly built Afghan side of the gate.  Other reports say the Afghan National Army is building up forces in that area.

In Farah Province, provincial government officials say a U.S./NATO airstrike killed eight Mujahideen.

In Nuristan Province, provincial government officials say a member of al Qaeda, from Yemen, was killed by U.S./NATO drone strike.

150 Army National Guardsmen, from Alabama U.S.A., were just told their December deployment to Afghanistan has been “off ramped”.

Once again, and thanks to the generous donation of tax money from taxpayers in Europe, North America and even East Asia, the Afghan economy is booming!  That’s according to the latest report from the World Bank.  According to the World Bank, Afghanistan’s 2012 GDP hit an incredible 11.8%!   Doesn’t that make all you happy taxpayers feel good?

H7N9 update: Man recovers from death bed! Thailand & U.K. on alert!

03 May 2013 (10:26 UTC-07 Tango)/22 Jumada t-Tania 1434/13 Ordibehest 1392/24 Ding-Si (3rd month) 4711

The government of Thailand is drafting an emergency plan to deal with a potential outbreak of H7N9: “Personally I believe the outbreak of this avian flu virus will reach Thailand by October, because of the rainy season. It will also deal a psychological blow to the poultry industry, not only in frozen chickens but cooked chicken as well.”-Pornthep Siriwanarangson, Disease Control Department

A 38 years  old man is now considered recovered after several days on death’s door.  Health officials in Zhejiang Province say he had been hospitalized for 22 days.  He was one of nine people recovered from H7N9 and released from hospitals on Friday.

In Taiwan, health officials say their first, and so far only human case of H7N9 is recovering.  The 53 years old man came back from a trip to China sick.  He’s been hospitalized since the first week of April.

Doctors in United Kingdom have been told to be on the alert for symptoms of H7N9 in Britishers.  The reason is that about 11000 Britishers visit China every week.  Also, about 3500 Chinese visit the U.K. every week.

Yet another study has confirmed what earlier studies have said about where H7N9 came from: It’s mutated from several other viruses.

 The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other universities, identified some of the genes.  One set of genes came from ducks in the Yangtze River Delta region.  Another set of genes are believed to have come from wild migrating birds.  Six other gene types evolved from two different groups of H9N2.  Some of the genes are resistant to tamiflu anti-viral treatment.

 

World War 3, African Front: Japan increasing troops in Sudan, U.K. increasing troops in Mali!

Japan currently has 350 troops in Sudan, working under the United Nations.  The UN has just asked Japan to send more Ground Self-Defense Force personnel.  Japan’s Senior Vice Minister for Cabinet Affairs, Yasutoshi Nishimura, has just started a weekend visit to Sudan, and will discuss the issue with UN and Sudanese officials.

In Libya, a police station in Benghazi was destroyed.  The same police station was attacked last week.  Also, militia groups have surrounded pro-U.S./European government buildings.  They will not lift their blockade until their demands are met.  They want all former officials connected to Muammar Gaddafi to be banned from holding government jobs.

In Democratic Republic of Congo, the March 23 (M23) organization has ended talks with UN officials because they’ve detected that they are about to be attacked by the newly created, and precedent setting, UN Intervention Brigade.  M23 spokesman, Stanislas Baleke, said they “…are waiting for the brigade. We are ready. Our men are on maximum alert.”

In Horn of Africa, Somalia, the government is about to forcefully relocate 80000 people.  A UN spokesman said even though the pro-U.S./European government is instigating the move, the UN will help.  The government claims the refugees will be moved to a larger concentration camp, I mean refugee camp.

In Nigeria, battles have been raging in the north eastern part of the country.  In the past week at least 200 people have been killed.

The United Kingdom announces it will send more Red Coats to Mali. They claim it’s part of the European Union Training Mission to train up pro-U.S./European forces in Mali, for a major offensive: “What we are here to do is form a battalion into a cohesive unit so that it’s ready to go on operations at the end of the 10 week package.”-Major Simon Holden, 1st Battalion Royal Irish Regiment

 

World War 3, Asian Front: More U.S. deaths! Proof opium production is supporting organizations outside Afghanistan!

30 April 2013/19 Jumada t-Tania 1434/10 Ordibehest 1391/21 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

In Helmand Province, Nahr-e-Saraj District, nine Afghan National Army (ANA) troops killed along with three United Kingdom (Scottish)/NATO Red Coats after a home made bomb exploded.  Six Red Coats were also wounded.  ISAF said: “Three International Security Assistance Force service members died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan.”  (notice ISAF doesn’t mention the ANA deaths)

In relation to the Red Coat deaths, apparently they were in an armored vehicle called a Mastiff.  Prime Minister David Cameron claims he will investigate why the Mujahideen have been successful in killing Red Coats riding in a Mastiff AFV.  Here’s a clue, the thing rolled over on them when the bomb went off!

In Kapisa Province, Mujahideen say they’ve shot down a NATO/ISAF attack helicopter in Alasay District.  A medivac ‘copter was later seen at the site of the crash.

In Herat Province, a NATO/ISAF recon drone (UAV) crashed in Shindand District.  Mujahideen say they’ve recovered the wreckage.

In Farah Province, Bakwa District, a NATO/ISAF supply convoy was ambushed.  Reports say ten security guards were killed, 12 wounded.  Three patrol vehicles and three fuelers were destroyed.

In Faryab Province, Khwaja Musa District, Mujahideen ambushed ANA vehicle patrol.  Nine ANA troops joined the Mujahideen.

This year’s opium eradication campaign is going badly for the Afghan National Army and Police (ANP).  The operation began 40 days ago and already 141  government personnel have been killed, 86 wounded.   According to Afghanistan’s deputy counter-narcotics minister, Ibrahim Azhar, the Afghan opium poppy industry is generating $70 billion USD per year, yet only 5% of that ends up in Afghanistan.  So who’s getting the lions share?

In Kunar Province, more claims that Pakistan fired artillery rockets into Afghanistan.  Local government officials say 37 rockets hit Dangdam District, no casualties reported.

In Badakhshan Province, provincial officials say they’ve won the release of ten ANA personnel.  They had been captured by Mujahideen in Wardoj District, back in March.  The capture of the ANA troops resulted in a major offensive launched by Afghan and U.S./NATO units, which failed to free the government soldiers.

In Parwan Province, a dramatic crash of a Boeing 747 cargo plane was captured on video.  The U.S. contractor operated plane had just taken off from Bagram airbase, and appears to stall out over a well traveled road.  The stall could be a sign the plane was overloaded, or the pilot had the plane at too steep of an angle starving the engines of air.  Everyone onboard was killed.  The plane was on its way to Dubai.

Also in Parwan Province, Afghan NDS officials claim they arrested two fueler drivers who place explosives on their fueler trucks, bound for Bagram airbase.

In Farah Province, in Petawak area between Bakwa and Gulistan districts, a NATO/ISAF supply convoy was ambushed.  Mujahideen claim they killed 25 security guards and wounded 10 others. The vehicles in the convoy were destroyed.

In Pakistan, a suicide bomber used a motorcycle bomb to kill at least eight people and wound 45 others.  Several diplomats from Afghanistan were among those killed, however, Pakistan police say the target of the attack was a Pakistani police official.

The New York Times reports that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has paid President Hamid Karzai tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars.  Karzai admitted to reporters that the Afghan National Security Council has been paid off with U.S. tax dollars for the past ten years. An unnamed U.S. government official said what I’ve been saying: “The biggest source of corruption in Afghanistan, was the United States.”

In Zabul Province, Mujahideen ended their four day battle for Nawbahar District.  Dozens killed and wounded.  Mujahideen say they broke off the engagement when U.S./NATO/ISAF attack helicopters showed up.

In Nangarhar Province, Chaparhar District, director of provincial development council, Malak Mohkam Khan, said a U.S. patrol open fired on a family working in a farm field.  Two adults and two children were killed.  Khan said the U.S. personnel claimed they were being shot at from the farm field.

World War 3, Economic Front: Demand for fuel way down in Japan! Yet prices going up?

01 May 2013 (09:17 UTC-07 Tango)/20 Jumada t-Tania 1434/11 Ordibehest 1391/22 Ding-Si (3rd month) 4711

Japan’s Natural Resources and Energy Agency reporting a big decrease in the number of gas stations.  Almost 20 years ago there were more than 60000 gas stations in Japan, now there are 35000.

Gas station operators blame falling demand and increased operating costs, making the business of selling fuel unprofitable. Yet fuel prices go up for Japanese drivers.

Japan buys its crude oil based on the more expensive Brent Crude price, which has been way higher than U.S. (WTI) Crude.  Some reports say that Japan pays as much as three times what other countries pay, because Japan makes a lot of ‘spot’ purchases.

Another problem is the 11 March 2011 nuclear disaster.  Japan has been forced to switch to other forms of generating electricity, mainly petroleum based.  So while demand for fuel for vehicles might be down, demand for fuel for power stations is up.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, Japan is now the number one importer of liquified natural gas, number two importer of coal and third biggest importer of crude oil.

The result is that the Japanese are paying a lot more for utilities.   Yet Japanese utility companies are losing money!

The major power companies of Japan reported they lost $20 billion USD from 2011 to 2012, and they’ve lost another $16 billion from 2012 to 2013!  So they’ve jacked up their rates, some by as much as 8.5%.

Looks like the only money makers here are the oil companies.

World War 3, Class Warfare: Rich retired Britishers receiving assistance meant for the Poor! 43000+ poor people died!

28 April 2013 (13:41 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Jumada t-Tania 1434/08 Ordibehest 1391/19 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Wealthy retirees in the United Kingdom get the same ‘benefits’ as poor people!  Could that ‘assistance’ have saved the lives of tens of thousands of poor people, who weren’t able to heat their homes this past winter?

Some British government officials are calling the issuing of certain benefits to wealthy retirees an “anomaly”!  But, the current U.K. retirement system allows wealthy pensioners to get the same benefits that poor pensioners get.  Iain Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, wants the rich retirees  to pay back those benefits.

One of the benefits is the winter home heating fuel allowance.  According to numbers released in March 2013, an estimated 43700 poor retirees froze to death!!!  That’s admitted by the British Office of National Statistics! What happened to the help from the winter home heating fuel allowance?

According to The Poverty Site, the United Kingdom sees an average of 20000 people freeze to death every winter.  So you can see this past 2012/13 winter was a record year for the Red Coats!

To give you an example the millionaire musician, Paul McCartney, qualifies for the same benefits, I mean assistance, as a poor retiree, like free bus passes and home heating allowances.  Supporters of the rich getting poor assistance say that the rich pay more in taxes, so they’re entitled.  The implication is that the poor are not entitled to such help programs, and now you know why the main streamer media calls them ‘benefits’ and not ‘assistance’.

Benefits are for rich taxpayers, assistance is for the poor.   When will the masses wake up and see the blatant class warfare that’s being waged upon them by the elites?

 

World War 3, Asian Front: Afghanistan continues to kill U.S. personnel! Mother nature on the side of Mujahideen! What 2014 pullout?

The U.S. Department of Defense admits yet another contractor ripped off U.S. taxpayers!  This time the taxpayers were overcharged $757 million USD!  The contractor to blame is Swiss based Supreme Foodservice.  The capitalist company is also accused of ripping off British taxpayers. For some reason, the U.S. agency in charge of contracts, Defense Logistics Agency, failed to do their job:  “This has to be one of the prime poster childs for a government contract spun out of control!”– John Mica, U.S. Representative from Florida

In Zabul Province, Shah Joy District, a U.S. aircraft went down.  At least four personnel killed.  U.S. officials deny it was shot down.  The majority of occupation personnel in Zabul Province are U.S.

While the Red Coat United Kingdom is pulling out troops from Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence revealed that they are now conducting drone (UAV) attacks on Afghanistan.

Mujahideen groups have announced the start of a new offensive, called operation Khalid bin Walid (a reference to the Mujahideen defeat of the Soviet Union puppet government in 1992/Mujahideen Victory Day).  Diplomatic institutions and airbases will be the main targets, and suicide bombers will be used.

In Faryab Province, provincial government sources say Mujahideen killed at least five local cops, and captured 15.   The provincial governor said there was an estimated 300 Mujahideen involved in the attack.

Logar Province: The U.S. Army revealed that a Blackhawk helicopter pilot and a co-pilot were killed on 23 April, in Pul-I-Alam District.  This happened to take place on the same day that Mujahideen claimed they shot down a U.S./NATO ‘copter, killing U.S. personnel and capturing most of the Turkish, Uzbek and Afghan passengers.  The claim that it was a U.S. ‘copter has been denied by U.S. media. The U.S. Army refuses to confirm Mujahideen claims, saying only that the two personnel died from “wounds sustained from enemy indirect fire”.

The Oklahoma Army National Guard’s 149th General Support Aviation Battalion held deployment ceremonies. They’re going to Afghanistan.

Kandahar Province: It was revealed that back on 23 April at least 50 U.S./NATO aircraft (mainly helicopters) were “severely damaged” by a massive hailstorm at Kandahar airbase.

In Takhar Province, six local cops were shot by one of their own.  This is becoming a standard MO, as the cops were poisoned before they were shot.

The United Nations says civilians casualties have increased 30% compared to the same time last year.

After first reporting they were on their way out of Afghanistan, Sweden has changed its mind. Swedish officials say they will now keep at least 200 troops in Afghanistan after the 2014 NATO/ISAF pullout date.

Also, U.S. NATO ally Turkey says they will keep all their troops currently in Afghanistan, after the U.S./NATO/ISAF 2014 pullout.

The United States announced it will increase drone (UAV) strikes after the 2014 pullout date.

In Montana U.S.A., state Department of Health and Human Services officials reporting a spike in cases.   At least 20 outbreaks affecting 500 people have hit the sparsely populated Big Sky Treasure state, since the beginning of the year.  Officials say that’s twice the normal yearly cases.

In Dorset, England U.K., the Poole Hospital ended its visitor restrictions. Hospital officials restricted visitation early this month, blaming it on norovirus cases not only in the hospital but in the local community as well.

In Edinburgh, Scotland U.K., the Liberton Hospital is still under restrictions after nearly two months.  At least 321 patients have become sick with norovirus. Hospital officials say it’s the worst outbreak they’ve seen, and are begging for help: “We have had a ­continuing problem with ­norovirus and are actively ­seeking information.”-Alison McCallum, NHS Lothian

On the Isle of Man, British Empire, a stomach bug outbreak is being blamed on unsanitary handling of livestock.  Some of the cases have been confirmed to be Cryptosporidium (a parasite) and Campylobacter (a bacteria).

In Cheshire, England U.K.,  a company claims to have created a cleanser that will kill many microbes, including norovirus, in less than one minute. The company also claims hospitals in Germany and Austria are using it. It’s called Noroclear, and does not use any harsh chemicals like bleach.   Company officials acknowledge there are other products which work, but none work in less than a minute.  They would not reveal what Noroclear is made from.

On the Jersey Channel Islands, British Empire, people are being told not to go to hospitals or health clinics if they are sick with norovirus.  This is an effort to reduce the spread of the virus.  There is no treatment for norovirus.

In Cumbria, England U.K., the Furness General Hospital is reporting an escalation in the outbreak there.  Wards have been closed, as well as admissions: “Despite every effort by the trust, the highly contagious bug has continued to spread and the MAU is now significantly affected. In order to ensure that the hospital can return to normal as soon as possible, the decision has been made to close the MAU to admissions….”-spokesman for Morecambe Bay NHS

In Cornwall, England U.K., a man was prevented from seeing his dying wife at the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske.  They blamed a norovirus outbreak.  The man’s wife died from cancer the next day.  Just more proof of how sucky the British Empire health system is.

In Pennsylvania U.S.A., the outbreak at Saint Katharine of Siena School in Wayne continues.  At latest count, 140 students and teachers became sick.  Also, a dog camp in North Hills closed after dogs became sick.  They will remain closed until 02 May.

‘Tis the season for cicadas.  Entomologists are warning that while your pets wont be killed by eating these loud bugs, if they eat too many they could suffer the same symptoms as norovirus.  Before getting too concerned try to remember if your dog or cat was munching down on some of these faux locusts.

Chronology of recent events:

14 April 2013; Syrian government troops begin pushing back U.S./NATO/Israeli backed insurgents (thousands of which are Chechens recruited by U.S. CIA and trained in Turkey and Greece), capturing many bases and most roads around Aleppo and Idlib.

15 April 2013; two U.S. citizens who are ethnic Chechens, and who were most likely recruited and trained by CIA to fight Jihad in Syria (revealed by U.S. ally Saudi Arabia last year), turn their U.S. training against the U.S. in classic blowback, allegedly setting off two bombs at the Boston Marathon.

In Aleppo Province, Syria, U.S. trained insurgents blow up a car, killing two and wounding 18.  U.S./Israeli trained insurgents also attacked the Palestinian Handarat refugee camp and killed seven people.

In Jaramana City, Syria, U.S. trained insurgents fire mortar rounds which land on a bus at a bus stop. At least four people killed, 12 wounded.

Russia’s Imperial Orthodox [Christian] Palestine Society sends 30 tons of aid to the Syrian government. The week prior Russia’s Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Relief sent 26.7 tons of aid to Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

Syrian government forces launch offensives in the provinces of Homs, Idlib, Daraa, Latakia, Hama, Deir ez-Zor, Aleppo, and Damascus.

16 April 2013; “Britain and France were complacent about supporting al Qaeda directly or indirectly…….The same forces that are killing innocent people in Syria are in Jordan too……We have stupid Arabs who are facilitating what the others are planning for the region. But the conspiracy begins in the west!”-Faisal al-Miqdad, Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad grants mercy on thousands of insurgents now in Syrian prisons.  Most will have their sentences cut in half, while those who were to be executed will serve life in prison. However, Decree Number 23 applies only to insurgents captured before 16 April.

The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee adopted Senate Resolution 65, which says the taxpayers of the United States will provide Israeli with all diplomatic, economic and military assistance if Israel decides to unilaterally launch a first strike against Iran: “We have our plans and forecasts….If the time comes, we’ll decide.”-Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff

17 April 2013; “Our Syrian people will not allow France to return to their country through supporting the armed terrorist groups and their conspiracy to further shed the blood of the Syrians!”-Syrian Foreign Ministry statement

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad warns that the U.S. training of insurgents will result in blowback: “The West has paid heavily for funding al Qaeda in its early stages. Today it is doing the same in Syria, Libya and other places, and will pay a heavy price in the heart of Europe and the United States.”

18 April 2013 “We are working very, very closely with the Syrian opposition.”-John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State

U.S. historian/economist, Webster Griffin Tarpley, says the U.S. is training insurgents for use in Syria “…as a kind of irregular or auxiliary force, a kind of irregular infantry…using al Qaeda as an irregular opposition force.” Tarpley also stated that it looks like the U.S. is now getting ready to use regular military forces to invade Syria.

Syrian government forces capture the strategic village of Abel, in Homs Province.  The village is at the cross roads of Homs, Damascus and Aleppo provinces.

19 April 2013; “Israel partnership with terrorist groups, allowing those armed groups to cross the separation line in the occupied Syrian Golan, treating their wounded in Israeli hospitals and returning them to the Syrian territory through the separation line…”-Bashar Ja’afari, Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations

UN officials blamed the U.S. supported/trained FSA is conducting murderous rapes: “The International Federation of Human Rights interviewed a Syrian man who witnessed the kidnapping of a young girl by elements of the Free Syrian Army. The girl was raped, and then killed. Her body was thrown in front of her house!”-Zainab Hawa Bangura, Special Representative of the UN Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict

The United States announces that it is sending an additional 200 military personnel to Jordan.  Last year Iraqis and Jordanians revealed that U.S. troops who were supposed to be heading back to the States from Iraq were diverted to Jordan.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich, warned that the U.S. is intentionally escalating the war: “These actions exacerbate the Syria crisis, which is now gaining the dimensions of a regional crisis.”

U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said the U.S. has no problem with Israel acting unilaterally against Iran:  “Israel will make the decisions that Israel must make…..”

John Kerry wrapped up his third trip to Turkey since becoming U.S. Secretary of State in February 2013 (I believe this is his second trip in April, one in March).  That’s a lot of trips to Turkey within three months. The main focus of every trip was trying to get Turkey to kiss and make up with Israel, for the purpose of building a more unified military front against Syria and Iran.

The Voice of America reported that the 11 country Friends of Syria axis will now direct all future aid to a General Salim Idris of the Free Syrian Army.  Yes that’s the same U.S. trained FSA the UN accuses of rape and murder.  John Kerry was ecstatic about the Friends of Syria decision:  “I think that maybe one of the most important single things that was agreed on last night that can make a difference to the situation of the ground.”

22 April 2013;  Turkish government officials denied reports from the British and Israeli media that Israel was planning on using a Turkish airbase to launch airstrikes against Iran.

The U.S. and Israel agreed on a $10 billion weapons deal.  When you realize that most of the money Israel gets comes from U.S. taxpayers, essentially Israel is getting the advanced weapon systems for almost free: “……the United States will make available to Israel a set of advanced new military capabilities….including anti-radiation missiles and advanced radars for fighter jets, KC135 refueling aircraft, and most significantly the V-22 Osprey…”-Chuck Hagel, U.S. Secretary of Defense
